For Your Eyes Only by J. Cole - Logan

Song of the Day: Yitties On Yo Titties by Lizzo

In this rich and soulful episode of Say More Words, Tamika invites us into “Tea Time” with real talk about Mercury retrograde, imposter syndrome, and the deep, transformational power of walking through life’s valleys. With her signature warmth and humor, she reflects on what it means to shed old versions of ourselves, find strength in sisterhood (especially the under-5'3" kind), and lean into stillness to hear divine guidance. It’s an uplifting reminder that the valley isn’t punishment—it’s preparation for the mountaintop.

Song of the Day: “Your Way's Better” by Forrest FrankIn this heart-filled, joy-laced episode, Tamika welcomes serial entrepreneur and speaker Kyle Draper into her blanket-wrapped podcast cocoon. The energy is electric from the jump, this episode is a conversation that blends storytelling, spiritual nudges, and entrepreneurial determination.

Kyle shares his unexpected journey from pastor to roofer to powerhouse speaker and business builder, guiding listeners through how one Facebook Live on a rooftop—watched by no one—sparked a marketing revelation. He now leads multiple businesses, including a virtual assistant agency, a coaching firm for mortgage professionals, and a publishing house called Rethink Everything—his “Positivity for Dummies” take on accessible, encouragement-based learning.

Tamika and Kyle reflect on starting before you’re ready, failing forward, and surrounding yourself with people smarter than you. They trade stories about showing up even when no one’s watching, and the importance of legacy—leaving behind something that outlives you.

Kyle’s mission is clear: help people feel seen, valued, and capable, whether on a stage or through the pages of a book. He opens up about parenting a child with special needs and how perspective and gratitude are daily choices, not distant ideals.
